STSEI offers workforce assistance in four Texas offices, including one at Camp Mabry in Austin.

One part of the grant is the TX-Vet program. With unemployment at 12 percent for veterans between 25 and 34, and 29 percent for those under 24, the TX-Vet program aims to put vets to work.

TX-Vet is sponsored by Wal-Mart and helps veterans under 34 get back into the workforce, whether they are underemployed or unemployed. The program is offered in San Antonio, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston and Killeen.
